Bentley

Bentley is five miles north-east of Alton, lying away from the main Farnham Road and attractively set in the meadows of the river Wey. The church, built between 1130 and 1140, has much thirteenth century work to show, as well as a finely carved Norman arch which separates the chancel from the north chapel. An unusual feature, the chancel clerestory, was added in the fifteenth century at the same time as the lower part of the tower was built. The early Jacobean alter rails and a priest's seat are also of interest.

Further information on attractions to discover in the area and other interesting villages to visit is available. For information on public services for Bentley please take a look at the Alton local pages.
